Open 840 - Guardians of the Fortress [Game Over]

[Aristeia]

@numberQ -- do you usually have a hard time keeping up with games?

[numberQ]

I think this is the first time I've seen someone argue they're town because they would have felt too guilty to lie as scum. It's such a weird thing to say in a game that is almost entirely all about lying and sussing out who is or isn't lying.

pedit: Sometimes. I used to have a bad habit of replacing out because games moved faster than I could keep up, but that was years ago and I like to think I'm a changed man. Plus I'm usually playing when I'm supposed to be working, so it depends on how busy I am at work. Or if it's a weekend, how busy housework keeps me.

That's not what I am saying...

I am saying Tanner might be mafia because he would feel bad about lying to me so he is avoiding me in the Keep.

[numberQ]

So... the same argument, but reversed and projected onto someone else?

[Aristeia]

I don't particularly care if anyone townreads me

I am in the keep

it is boring for me if someone just townreads me and votes me because that would require 0 thought on my part.

I actually prefer the thrill of getting to vote and feeling the thrill or agony of being right or wrong.

It's not even a serious argument,

It's a paranoid fleeting thought I had.

I still think Tanner is town.

[numberQ]

Fair enough. I won't press it too hard, ultimately random thoughts like that are probably +town indicative. It's just so alien to me that someone would feel guilty for the most basic unit of scum gameplay.

I don't understand why you made this post.

[VP Baltar]

Rephrased as a question: why did you make that post?

[Aristeia]

I don't understand why you made this post.

I am responding to you saying you think I'm mafia.

It is a pointless train of thought for you to pursue.

I don't particularly care if you townread me or scumread me atp

[Aristeia]

Like if I am going to be voting in Keep, it doesn't matter what everyone's opinion of my alignment is... because I will be the one voting in Keep.

So it's best to not express it.

However if you're town and you think I'm scum, then you letting the mafia know this will help them know to put me in the same spot as you so that you vote me out, for example wall or gate.

[VP Baltar]

I am responding to you saying you think I'm mafia.

I don't think I said I think you're mafia. I said I think you're lying, with the implication being that's anti-town.

Yes, I am applying pressure to you. But I actually have not made up my mind on you yet

[Aristeia]

ok but what's the point of applying pressure to me?

[VP Baltar]

ok but what's the point of applying pressure to me?

I am gathering information to make reads off.

I don't really care if the scum think they are going to play off that because I almost never put all my thoughts on the table until I'm ready to push something.

I will go all out tunneling someone to see how they act and then call them town. Ill flip on locktown reads ive had all game if i see something solidly scummy. Good luck to scum trying to plan off my reads, because even I can't do that.

[Aristeia]

ok sherlock holmes investigate away!

[VP Baltar]

If Sherlock Holmes was a smooth brain with a drinking problem, that'd be me!

[numberQ]

Well he had a cocaine problem, so it's pretty close

6 Guardians remain unassigned. The Day 1 deadline is in (expired on 2021-12-23 10:50:00).

[numberQ]

Any reason for me to not just vote Wall now?

[VP Baltar]

I don't think so. Only person who hasn't weighed in is Darby and he may be scum

[Toogeloo]

VOTE: Wall

[numberQ]

He also may not exist anymore. That ISO's still sitting at 6 posts.

Honestly even if there were more discussion to be wrung out of this, I'm ready to move on.

VOTE: Wall

pedit: Oh there we go. Just one more needed at any location I think?

[imaginality]

Yep it's time to take our positions and defend our fortress!

VOTE: Gate
